[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2978476, member: 118823"] So it was my understanding from Lilja's website that they button rifle then put the barrels back in the furnace to relieve any stress. I have always wondered if fluting any type of barrel put stresses into it. If the fluting is kept cool through coolant on the barrel during the fluting I could see there being no internal stresses being introduced. If a button rifled barrel was full of internal stress, and then it was fluted, I can see that definitely letting the internal stresses from being rifled change the shape of the barrel due to fluting.(fluting making thin weak spots that would be manipulated by the thicker higher stessed parts) But, If a barrel is rifled and then put through the furnace to relieve all the stress, how would fluting a BR barrel be any different than any other barrel? I don't know the answers for sure, but I am always eager to learn! [/QUOTE]
